A New York state judge has rejected a lawsuit by five Brooklyn Law School graduates who claimed they were misled by the school regarding the success of its graduates in finding high-paying legal employment.

The graduates, who sought a refund of tuition and other damages for a class of graduates, claimed they were duped into believing that it would be easier than they realized to obtain legal employment. The case is one of several brought against law schools across the country regarding their representations about post-graduate employment.
